MSc Thesis

Title: Genotypic analyses of Onchocerca volvulus beta tubulin gene in the Mbonge SubDivision: evidence of ivermectin selection.

Description

This thesis explored genetic selection of a gene in an area endermic for filarial diseases. I could demonstrate that variation and polymorphism of the beta tubulin gene at position 1183 indicated that the G allele may be implicated in ivermectin selection in the population that we studied.
